That is some clean cable management there. Nice log on that system there, thanks for sharing. I was very close to buying the PC-Q08 over this PC-354, it looks great to work with from the shots in your log.

It would be a good idea to get a modular PSU if I want to have better cable management and get rid of my nasty cluster of zip tied cables. I really like that Silverstone you have, I've never seen a modular PSU that had modular plugs for the 24 pin ATX and 8 pin 12v power connectors, that is very convenient.

Doing awesome, I was very surprised to see that my temps on the card in this case are the same as in my HAF 932. I played BC2 for about 2 hours last night and it got up to 58 C at the highest. I do have the 570 fan unlock BIOS so it will ramp up to 100%. I think I have Afterburner set to ramp it up to 100% after 55 C.

That's the way to make it look. I love Silverstone for the thought of "shorter cables".. But, I wish my strider Plus, would have a switch.. My only problem with their line of psu's.. But, I do have 2 1000w Strider Plus's.

heres mine, just got me sleeved cables from {uZa}DOA these things are purrrrty.

This is the zalman I got a bit ago, glows green, but not too bright. It's hella loud if it's a full 12volts. I have it undervolted to 5V and it's pree good. Keeps my CPU pree cold. Max i've gotten with this is 48C Sorry about the dirt, I got it like this, and spent 2 hours cleaning it fin by fin and that's the best I got it.

I fixed my cable management :3 I like it a bit better like this

A full shot, that 6 pin is for my 5770 I get tomorrow C: I don't want to have to open the case again so I just took it out now

Ohh, you should see the back! It's a huge mess This case makes it kinda easy, there are just somethings I want to fix, that 6 pin is a bit too long, and I want to fix the 8pin/ 24pin so they are straight. If you have a decent case, it's really easy. And I can't wait till I get it! After that, the only thing I will need to update is my hard drive, it has a 5.2 in the windows rating thing.

If you don't mind noise much or have a good soundproof case the WD Black series are pretty fast with a 64 mb buffer Although SSD is the only way to go if you want scores above 5.9 in windows rating

I hided several of them under the motherboard. I rotated the back exhaust fan in order to get 8 additional centimeters that allowed me to put the plug on the back of the tray.

Closer look:

Back of the board tray:

I could do better but I'd need longer SATA and IDE cables plus a 4 pin molex extention. I also need a 5" SATA cable for the drive in the 5.25" bay. The SATA power cable is 25cms less than what I'd need to be able to route it on the back. This will have to do.

EDIT: I'm reading the Cable management help desk. I hadn't thought about putting the HDDs backwards!!! That'll allow me to route the cables behind the tray.
